Inspired by the great victory, although the soldiers of the Shu army were a little tired, they were extremely excited. Under the leadership of Yang Yun and Zhuge Liang, they marched along the Wei River toward Chang'an again.

On the way, I happened to meet the soldiers of Zhao Yun and Wei Yan.

"Meet Your Majesty!"

After Zhao Yun and Wei Yan learned about the news of the defeat of the Wei army, they were delighted at first, and then a sense of regret surged in their hearts. If they had heard this news, they would not have to come so anxiously.

After the Wei army was defeated, there were no reinforcements in Chang'an City. They could have camped outside the city and blocked Cao Rui in the city. When Yang Yun's army arrived, Cao Rui would definitely surrender.

And now, without the army led by both of them, Cao Rui might not have remained in Chang'an City.

"I have not broken through Chang'an, so please give your guilt!" The more Zhao Yun and Wei Yan thought about it, the more they blame themselves. If Cao Rui is taken down, the entire Wei Kingdom will collapse without a leader.

This is a great opportunity for them to let the Han Dynasty restore the Central Plains with their own hands!

"Sending troops to Ziwu Valley is a dangerous plan, and it doesn't matter if you don't succeed. If Zilong and Wen Chang want to make meritorious contributions, you can conquer Chang'an for me!"

Although Yang Yun felt a little regretful, he would not blame Zhao Yun and Wei Yan for this. Even he did not expect that he would defeat Cao Zhen's army in one day.

Zhao Yun and Wei Yan just harassed Cao Zhen’s food and grass transportation channel according to the original plan. If the reason for not capturing Cao Rui on them was put on the two of them, it would be meaningless venting their anger.

"I will definitely take Chang'an and die for Your Majesty!" The two generals immediately expressed their opinion.

Yang Yun nodded slightly, then glanced at him. Seeing that the tens of thousands of elite soldiers under him were a little tired and the marching speed was not as fast as he imagined. He immediately ordered Zhuge Liang, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao and Wei Yan to lead thousands of soldiers with high strength to maintain combat power to speed up and rush to Chang'an as soon as possible.

He himself led the remaining tired soldiers and horses to march slowly. During the march, he would recover the energy he had consumed to his limit.

Although Yang Yun did not have the ability to command the army to command operations, he has also gained a lot of experience after experiencing such worlds.

Not to mention anything else, there is still the ability to lead tens of thousands of troops to march safely and steadily.

Zhuge Liang, Ma Chao and Zhao Yun led the Wudang Flying Army and thousands of cavalry. The marching speed was extremely fast, but in a very short time, they came back to Chang'an City.

In order to dare to take Chang'an before Cao Rui escaped, when they passed by other cities, they went around without attacking them, and the army rushed straight to Chang'an.

During the march, Zhuge Liang sorted out all the things of the army and handed them over to the explorer, and they were passed to Yang Yun with a whip.

"This kid Cao Rui is so smart!"

When Yang Yun saw the information coming, he couldn't help but sigh.

Zhuge Liang had already found out that when Cao Zhen's army was defeated, a general of the innate level turned around and fled when Cao Zhen died in battle. Before the Shu army came to the city, he returned to Chang'an and told Cao Rui the news of Cao Zhen's army's defeat.

This particularly wise ruler in history, Emperor Ming of Wei, had no hesitation and directly took the frame out of Chang'an with the carriage. He should have arrived in Tongguan now.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the water level of the Yellow River was cut below. Hangu Pass, which was originally the gateway of Guanzhong, had lost its function, and Tongguan was replaced by Tongguan. There were Wangyuan Gullies and Jindian Gullies on the left and right sides of Tongguan. If you get it from Guanzhong, you can block Guandong.

If the Central Plains of Guandong master Tongguan, they can attack Guanzhong at any time and threaten Chang'an.

So after getting the news, Zhuge Liang immediately led the cavalry to Tongguan with Ma Chao. Ma Chao had fought with Cao Cao in Tongguan and knew very well about the terrain.

"Cao Rui is so smart that he will never stay in Tongguan. Those who stay in Tongguan must be important officials of Wei! I hope Tongguan can be won in one fell swoop!"

Yang Yun thought to himself.

When Longyou, Shuzhong and Tongguan were in hand, he restored the situation before Qin destroyed the six kingdoms and Tang dynasties and came out of Tongguan to fight for supremacy of the Central Plains.

Jingyi Yongliang seems to have only four states, but the four states combined can be called the lower half of the world. And there is 60% of the country that hopes to unify the world.

Zhuge Liang and Ma Chao led their troops to attack Tongguan, leaving Zhao Yun and Wei Yan to block Chang'an, waiting for Yang Yun to lead the army to arrive, and then break through the city wall, so that the first person to enter Chang'an would become the emperor who led his troops north.

The emperor personally conquered Chang'an and recovered the Western Capital of the Han Dynasty. This was of great significance.

...

When Yang Yun led his troops to Chang'an, Zhuge Liang and Ma Chao had already approached Tongguan. In Tongguan, except for Sima Yi, there were only one thousand Yellow Turban heroes and two thousand elite soldiers left by Cao Rui.

Defending a heroic pass, three thousand soldiers are just a drop in the bucket. Even if there are a thousand Yellow Turban heroes, it is far from enough.

"General, I'll report to the horse. Zhuge Liang personally led his troops to seize the pass. In another hour, he will arrive!" A deputy general hurriedly reported the report with panic on his face.

Sima Yi's face was as deep as water, and he remained silent for a while and his thoughts kept turning.

According to what Emperor Cao Rui said before leaving, as long as he can hold on for a day, the soldiers and horses near Luoyang will come to help!

"Zhuge Liang and Ma Chao! Both of them have the strength to break through Tongguan! With just one thousand Yellow Turban strong men, they will definitely not be able to stop them! For the sake of the current plan, they can only take a risk!"

Sima Yi sighed, then raised his spirits and ordered the deputy general beside him to say, "Send the order, open the city gate, hide the Yellow Turban Strongmen and two thousand elite soldiers on both sides of the city gate. I personally set up a formation, hoping that Zhuge Kongming would temporarily station troops and not attack!"

"Open the city gate?"

The deputy general was shocked and hurriedly said, "General, Tongguan is the most powerful pass in the world. Wouldn't it be that the big city gate will be opened and the Shu army will be allowed to enter the pass? How can this be done?"

"Haha, what do you know? With these three thousand soldiers, how long can you block the Shu army? Half an hour? Or an hour?"

A hint of coldness appeared on Sima Yi's face, but after seeing the expression of the deputy general, he sighed and explained. The deputy general was the confidant left by Emperor Cao Rui. If he did not convince the deputy general, he would not be able to command the three thousand soldiers at all.

"I know Zhuge Kongming's character well. This person is cautious and never takes risks. If I open the city gate and add the formation set up by me, the other party will think that there are ambushing troops in the city! I will not attack the city immediately!"

"As long as you can last for more than half a day, the reinforcements your Majesty said will arrive, and you will have the opportunity to defend Tongguan!"
